This news was quite a shock to Tony Stark.
As a top scientist, he naturally understood what it meant to be able to observe parallel universes, and what level of technology that represented.
Consider that.
The current technological level of their world couldn't even confirm the existence of parallel universes! The concept of parallel universes was still just a concept.
But Zhou Cheng's universe had already advanced to the point where it could observe and study multiple parallel universes?
Holy crap.
How many years ahead of his own universe was that?
So.
That's why Zhou Cheng could travel across the universe.
Could it be the reason why this "weird" diary could be sent to him by bizarre means?
It should be right, after all, Stark's punchable face is right there.
I've also been to the Captain America Memorial, and it's definitely the familiar Cap.
Also, that bald Obadiah Stane, and Colonel Rhodes from the military, I've seen them on the news.
Confirmed, this is the Marvel Universe 1999999!
Right, and Pepper, who was just on TV a few days ago.
Pfft!
Black Widow couldn't help but laugh.
How much did Zhou Cheng look down on Tony Stark?
He was calling him names and wishing he'd get kidnapped.
He was even itching to celebrate when he knew Stark was about to be kidnapped.
And now?
A face just begging to be hit?
Although Tony Stark's personality was truly awful, no one had ever belittled Stark like this before, right?
Black Widow really wanted to know what expression Stark would have if he saw this.
What expression?
Of course, it would be as black as the bottom of a pot.
Tony Stark right now just wanted to rush over to Zhou Cheng and beat him up!
A punchable face?
Did I offend you?
Seriously, every single day, every single diary entry had to take a shot at him, it had become a daily routine.
"That bastard!"
Tony Stark couldn't help but mutter angrily.
"Sir, this further proves that Zhou Cheng doesn't know you can see the diary entries."
"Otherwise, he wouldn't be so blunt."
Jarvis's voice sounded beside him, offering a reasonable analysis.
"That's not blunt, that's just rude!"
"It's really low to talk about people behind their backs!"
Tony Stark still looked indignant.
But when Tony Stark's eyes landed on the words "Little Pepper," he couldn't help but freeze.
Little Pepper, could that mean Pepper?
Because Pepper's name included the word "pepper," Tony Stark had given her that nickname.
And as Tony Stark's assistant, Little Pepper was often exposed to the news media.
That matched Zhou Cheng's statement about seeing her on television.
That bastard!
"No other man is allowed to call Pepper that, except for me!"
Tony Stark unconsciously felt a twinge of displeasure.
Speaking of Pepper, she seems glamorous, but it's not easy for her.
When she was Stark's assistant, she had to take care of this second-rate cripple in every detail.
She also had to clean up the garbage Stark left behind every night.
I'm wondering, what exactly did Pepper fall for in Stark?
Stark has money, but I'm not lacking either!
Tony Stark's face grew darker and darker; he felt like he was on the verge of collapse.
Second-rate cripple?
"What the hell, can you even speak human?"
"Do you know how high my IQ is? Do you know how smart my brain is? My intelligence and talent should naturally be used on more important things.
Not on trivial matters."
But…
He might not have noticed it usually, even taking it for granted.
But now that Zhou Cheng had specifically pointed it out.
Tony Stark thought about it and did realize he was too reliant on Pepper.
Basically, all the arrangements in his life, everything, were handed over to her.
Even tying his shoelaces, or tying a tie!
That sounds… kind of like a cripple, doesn't it?
Tony Stark's face darkened further.
Wait, wait a minute!
What else did Zhou Cheng, that bastard, say?
Pepper… has a crush on me?
And very quickly.
Tony Stark was stunned, and then a ridiculously smug smile spread across his face.
I knew it! I always knew it!
Pepper's into me!
I, the handsome, brilliant Tony, the idol of countless women in America.
Even Pepper couldn't resist my charm, could she?
Heh heh.
Pepper, oh Pepper, bow down before the great, dashing charm of your boss's underpants!
Tony Stark couldn't have been more pleased with himself.
In fact, he'd always had some feelings for Pepper Potts, some interest.
Now, seeing that the woman he had his eye on felt the same way about him, he was incredibly pleased.
Just don't know.
What will happen between me and Pepper, with our mutual feelings?
Tony Stark began staring intently at the diary.
Eagerly awaiting the next "update."
Being with Stark, I was always on edge.
Constantly worried that Stark would die on one of his missions, never to return.
That kind of mental pressure was enough to drive a person insane!
And then, after marrying Stark, forget about it. I was widowed not long after.
[What a pity!]
Clap! Tony Stark couldn't help but clap his hands, unable to hide his excitement.
He and Pepper really did get together.
They even got married in the end! It has to be said.
After reading Zhou Cheng's diary for so long, this could be said to be the best news Tony Stark had received.
However, when he saw Pepper ultimately being widowed, Tony Stark's expression turned gloomy again.
His death was mentioned here again.
Could it be the one he'd talked about before, the one where he died saving the world?
"Never!"
No matter how his other self in that other universe died, he, Tony, would not repeat that mistake!
"Looks like I need to develop the Iron Man Armor as soon as possible!"
Tony Stark secretly made this decision.
This wasn't just about the upcoming kidnapping, but also about his future life.
Although Tony Stark didn't know what exactly would happen in the future.
Nor did he know why he would choose to sacrifice himself to save the world.
But no matter the crisis, it's a paper tiger in the face of absolute power.
As long as the armor he researches is powerful enough.
Even more powerful than the Iron Man Armor that the Tony Stark of another world had researched.
Then, everything wouldn't have happened!
